Back Pain Doesn't Always Mean a Muscle Is the Problem

Back pain can involve much more than tight muscles.

Pain with bending, lifting, sitting or standing can sometimes involve the spinal joints, discs, nerves, muscles or movement patterns.

Dr. Haugen's patient education articles explore common causes of back pain and why identifying the source matters.

For example, Big Stone Chiropractic's article on back pain with forward bending explains how muscles, discs, joints, nerves and movement patterns can all contribute to symptoms.

ARPwave Neuro Therapy

A Different Approach to Injury Recovery and Neuromuscular Rehabilitation

Big Stone Chiropractic also offers ARPwave Neuro Therapy, a specialized form of neuromuscular electrical stimulation used as part of rehabilitation and recovery.

ARPwave may be incorporated into care for certain patients dealing with:

  • Sports injuries

  • Sprains and strains

  • Muscle weakness or inhibition

  • Limited range of motion

  • Chronic pain

  • Post-surgical rehabilitation

  • Neuromuscular rehabilitation

  • Difficulty returning to normal activity after an injury

ARPwave is not a replacement for a proper evaluation. It is one of the tools that may be incorporated into an individualized treatment plan.

Why Big Stone Chiropractic?

Personalized Care

No two patients have exactly the same injury, history or movement patterns. Care is tailored to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

Focus on Function

The goal is not simply to make pain disappear temporarily. Improving movement, function and the factors contributing to recurring problems is an important part of care.

Advanced Rehabilitation Options

In addition to chiropractic care, Big Stone Chiropractic offers ARPwave Neuro Therapy for appropriate patients.

Patient Education

Understanding a condition can help patients make better decisions about their health. Dr. Haugen regularly publishes educational information about musculoskeletal conditions, injuries, nutrition and other health topics.

Chiropractic Care for Farmers and Active Rural Communities

Life in a rural community places unique demands on the body.

Long hours sitting in tractors, repetitive lifting, climbing in and out of equipment, working bent over and performing physically demanding tasks can all contribute to back, neck and joint problems.

Big Stone Chiropractic provides care for farmers, agricultural workers, athletes, families and other active members of the Ortonville and Milbank communities.

One of Dr. Haugen's articles specifically addresses why farmers commonly develop back pain during spring planting.
